Images > Charts > Words

Over the last few days I have happened upon a few sets of powerful images that tell the story of the effects of our current economy's product life-cycle.  The idea that pictures and video are compelling ways to deliver a message is well known, but these images are a reminder that even one powerful image might be enough to move a consumer or community to action:

I have read about the "giant garbage patch the size of Texas," but Chris Jordan's photos of Albatross Chicks on Midway Atoll really make it hard to ignore:

It is one thing to hear stats about heavy pollution in China, but Lu Guang's photo documentary project “Pollution in China” drives right to a personal level:  

 

Another set of images from China were compiled into a video that explains the issue with e-waste better than any set of charts and graphs can do.  There is also a 60-minutes story about the same town.  

Each of these image sets represent only a tiny piece of large, wicked problems.  The images only help us to understand, but without understanding a viable solution isn't likely.

I found over the years that many times I would call on a customer just to say hello and would ask if their is something I could help them with. There would always be something they were thinking of doing but just had not called me.
